Rodolfo is right, but also is Edgardo Lopez with his recent article on the design educational system (in Mexico). It all has to do with education, attitude and a certain dosis of talent.

Educational systems too often cater to demand, and just too many students think that 'studying' design is an easy way out and justifies them using a computer to their leisure while generating an income...

I believe the deteriorating professional environment is due to two factors: the educational system is too loose and too focussed on own income (private institutions), and the market is too unaware of the added values of design; mainly, both are lacking critical views. The designer finds her/himself right in the middle, either not well equiped mentally or with a wrong attitude towards her/his own work or her/his market.

Educating the demand, and being critical about the offering would really make a difference. Luckily Mexico has started thinking about this, educating its government first place.
